Ah, after French was defeated by Wagners, it is US turn. Ray Dahlio is right.

Niger has opened their arms to the Russian military [1], who will do nothing but plunder them and descend the (formerly democratic) country into more poverty and chaos.
They deserve to reap the fruit of their corruption and incompetence.

Who's "their", "them", and "they"?
As someone from Africa, this is a major step in the right direction. The parasitic USA must be kicked out of all our countries.
Does this include the $55B in aid the US has committed to over a 3 year period? I assume those funds could be used elsewhere if Africa is going to round that investment up itself.

As someone from Africa, this is a horrible development. But then, Africans generally love their oppressors so I’m not even surprised..
Talk about trading the bad for the worse
I wish you good luck because you’re in for a rough time.
